Chapter 1 On this night, I became the Duke of the North
Belch...... Yes!
Li Xiujie felt that his throat ached like a fire, as if there was a flame rolling inside, accompanied by bursts of indescribable bitterness.
“...... Water..... Belch. ”
He instinctively tried to find water, but found that his throat seemed to be stuck with something, and it was extremely difficult for him to make sounds.
What happened?
He remembered that he had just been asleep at home, but he didn't expect to wake up suddenly and become as painful as this.
Suddenly, a strange, mechanical voice appeared in his head:
【You have activated the strongest lord system......】
【Host Binding......
[Current Host Status: Poisoned]
【Does the host confirm detoxification】
A series of words made Li Xiujie not react to what was going on, but hearing the words of detoxification still made him feel like grasping a life-saving straw.
"Solution...... Solution ......"
He still couldn't speak a whole sentence, but his throat felt like a cool spring flowing, and the burning sensation in his throat began to magically ease, and finally disappeared completely, and his mouth no longer felt bitter.
What's going on, the system is poisoned?
"Ahh
Suddenly, Li Xiujie felt that his head hurt as if he had been poked back and forth with an awl, countless memories were pouring in like a tide, a large amount of information filled his brain, and the huge pain made him almost faint.
It took about an hour for him to recover from the tremendous mental pain, and his whole body was soaked as if he had been immersed in water.
But because of this, he completely understood the fact that he had crossed over.
He Li Xiujie, an ordinary Blue Star man, became Duke Flewoff, the last heir of the current Duke of the Northern Realm of the Norse Empire, in a normal sleep.
This young man had just inherited the long-extinct title of Duke of the North and the hereditary Dukedom of the North from his deceased father just two months earlier.
However, without three successive generations of gifted family masters, the Dukedom of the North has long been eaten away by other nobles, leaving only the Northland Fortress, the northernmost and most barren city in civilized society.
To add insult to injury, a large number of demonic beasts were polluted and lost their minds for some unknown reason in the dark mountains further north of the northern fortress.
According to the sentinels sent out, the wave of demonic beasts formed by the gathering of these irrational demonic beasts will storm the northern fortress in three days, and the fortress is simply unable to defend it with its current strength.
According to the laws of the Norse Empire and the code of nobility, the lord has the duty to protect the land and the safety of the people, and must not escape from the battle, otherwise he will be stripped of his title and bring shame on his family.
So in the end, the young duke, in desperation, chose to release a soundproof barrier in the middle of the night and then committed suicide by poisoning!
And Li Xiujie didn't know why he inexplicably ran over to merge with Duke while he was asleep, and perfectly experienced the sour feeling of committing suicide by taking poison.
Then he thought about the memories he had inherited, which made him even more hopeless.
The family that has been defeated for three generations in a row will only have a barren land left, and it will be flooded by the tide of Warcraft after three days.
What kind of protagonist template is this!
"Good thing I have the system. ”
Li Xiujie muttered to himself, if he hadn't heard the system prompt sound before, he wouldn't mind drinking all the poisonous wine remaining in the silver cup.
At this moment, a virtual light board appeared in front of Li Xiujie, and the basic information of Duke Duke appeared on it.
[People panel.]
Name: Duke Flevav (20)
Identity: Duke of the North
Attribute: Strength 20
Intelligence 60
Interior 20
Dexterity 20
Talent 10
Strength: Mage Apprentice (Level 2)】
What is this panel?
The corners of Li Xiujie's mouth twitched slightly, and he wondered how this kid had lived happily.
The strength of this world is divided into ten levels, and Duke is already 20 years old, but his strength is only a level 2 mage apprentice.
You must know that even a mage from the lowest level of this world can reach the strength of a level 3 trainee mage at his age without the support of resources.
This made him want to reconsider whether or not to die again.
【Ding, welcome the host to use the strongest lord system】
[Successfully Accepted the Novice Mission: Meet the Subordinates]
[Rewards for completing quests: Bone Cleansing Pill X1, Gold Coins X1000, Unlock Inventory and Shop]
It's not from another world, is it......
Li Xiujie smiled bitterly after receiving the information in his head.
Only now did he have time to think about what had happened to him, and he gently stroked his throat, the burning pain that had just burned seemed like an illusion.
But in the full-length mirror, the emaciated figure who was only seven points similar to himself, with light gray curly hair, two deep bags under his eyes due to overindulgence, and a mess around him.
All of this was a reminder of the fact that he had completed the incredible crossing.
He took a deep breath and slowly digested all the things in front of him.
Is the newbie task to get to know your subordinates?
He remembered the task that had just been systematically assigned.
So Li Xiujie recalled what Duke did in his usual life, in case he showed his feet when he met with his subordinates tomorrow, and found out that the Duke of the North had already been dropped, and then burned at the stake.
But when he thought about it carefully, he found that this kid was not very familiar with his subordinates, except for two meetings two months ago when he inherited the title and the military meeting the day before yesterday, the rest of the time he was busy with his own business.
The subordinate gate is responsible for maintaining the day-to-day operation of the territory and handling the day-to-day affairs of the territory, while the Duke Duke is responsible for spending time and drinking.
"Tsk, this is cheap for me, and it doesn't make it difficult for me. ”
Li Xiujie sneered, and then sighed again.
I thought of suddenly leaving Blue Star, leaving civilized society, and leaving everything I was familiar with. Without the Internet and the convenience of modern life, he still feels a sense of loss and trepidation when he suddenly has to live alone in this dark age similar to the Middle Ages, having lost everything and having lost all his relatives and friends.
That's it, no matter what, at least I've lived again, and my previous life is not very good, and now at least I'm still a duke in name, and there's a territory, although it's all water.
And in such a world with swords and sorcery and legendary races, which have always been imagined in novels and games, they really appear in front of themselves, and to some extent, they can be regarded as fulfilling one of their dreams.
Well, my first priority is to adapt to the world here.
Li Xiujie secretly cheered himself up in his heart.
But before that, you have to live well.
"Whew~" Li Xiujie took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "From now on, I will be Duke Flewoff, Duke of the North." ”
